Description
Algorithmic drummer for Ableton
350 Preset drum patterns with 4 dynamically mappable variation encoders
Try before you buy, there is a free version which has a fraction of the patterns... but you’ll get a feel for how it works

Short soundcloud example output of two Bangaz track playing synch together:

!! Note that you need Live 12.2 with Max4Live to use it in Ableton clip view !!
What is Bangaz?
An energetic, low‑latency drum engine that blends handcrafted groove design with algorithmic invention.
Deterministic, compiled engines: core pattern generators are written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly for predictable, CPU‑efficient pattern maths.
A responsive drum toolkit that feels handcrafted but invents endlessly, letting producers dial between classic grooves and freshly generated, surprising pattern
